If you want to learn photography, is it better to go to a training institution or teach yourself?

The first thing to be clear about is your own needs. Do you want to learn some basics in your spare time, or do you want to make a difference in the photography industry?

If you just want to know about photography and learn some basics, I personally think that self-study is better. If you have achievements in the photography industry, I recommend you to go to a training institution.

Advantages of self-taught examination: First, time is free.

If you teach yourself, you must first ask yourself to be self-disciplined and conscious, so that you won't give up halfway. Of course, self-study also means freedom. You can arrange your own study time at will, so that you won't delay your other work.

Second: regional freedom.

When you want to study, you can do it anytime and anywhere. On the subway, on the bus or before going to bed, you can watch some good works with your mobile phone to enhance your aesthetic feeling, and read some photography-related tutorials and books.

Advantages of training institutions: First, it is systematic.

If you study in an institution, he will first teach you the development of photography and understand the history of photography, including the establishment of a photography school. These are all systematic and rich in content, which can help you build a solid foundation.

Second: learning atmosphere

Everyone has the psychology of comparing with others. For example, at school, parents often educate themselves to see how good their neighbors' children are. You should learn from him, so should photography. In the organization, there are many students who have the same hobbies as you, and everyone has different abilities. In such a group, they catch up better than studying, so it is easier to stimulate your motivation to learn.

Third: enter or know more circles.

Man is a gregarious animal. If you are surrounded by a group of classmates like you, then you will form a circle in which your information is enjoyed. Some tips about photography will be shared for free. And everyone will have different circles around you, and you can get to know or enter different circles through them, which are much better than self-study.
